Kućište is small village on the southern coast of the Pelješac peninsula on the Dubrovnik-Neretva county (Dubrovačko-neretvanska županija) of Croatia. Inhabitants have a long sea-faring tradition, the income from which allowed them to build, for the time, the large, affluent, stone mansions characteristic of the area.
